Crime Down!

  • Chicago police Supt. Garry McCarthy said Friday that a crackdown over the last month in two high-crime areas on the South and West sides has already produced “tremendous results.”

    Since the new initiative began in mid-January, homicides have fallen 63 percent and shootings dropped 36 percent in the Englewood and Harrison police districts combined, compared with the same year-earlier period, according to McCarthy, citing initial data.
Just as a side note, we were talking to some northside detectives yesterday and they told us there are at least a couple of crews, maybe 3 or more, hitting houses up in 016, 017 and points east.

We also dined with some southside buddies of ours and imagine this, there are more than a couple of emerging patterns in their neck of the woods, too. Burglaries and the like.

We just point this out to be helpful - and remind Garry and Rahm that all crime isn't shootings and all crime isn't confined to "boxes" on the west and south sides. But you probably already knew that.

We all need to stick together...I'm sure most of the officers making "a difference" in 007 and 011, actually live in either 016 or 022. How about we get the same officers to work in 016/022 every other period, and then hold a news conference!
Please look out for each other, and each others families!

Police Union Sues Burge Attorneys (and Greg Bella) Over Fees

"...On Jan. 28, 2011, Gamboney submitted a bill to the FOP’s former third vice president, who is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit, requesting $203,500 for legal services and additional expenses for work performed outside the scope of the appeal, according to the complaint."

"The former union official, Greg Bella, then authorized the payment even though the union says it did not owe Gamboney any money, the lawsuit states..."

Yep,

Three shot up at the Frontier restaurant and the clerk at the Subway sandwich shop killed up in Noble Square and Ukrainian Village neighborhoods last night about an hour apart...followed by another man shot up in Hanson Park.

Edgewater and Rogers Park seem to be getting an increase of home invasions.

If it's all working out so great why are the terms "homicide" and "aggravated battery" being removed from the CPD lexicon?

Oh and that reminds me...speaking of bats, the victim on the north side standing over her friend screaming "you killed him -- you killed him..." last night as four male Hispanics with baseball bats jumped back into a dark SUV and sped off.

It's the exact same propaganda with Jobs.

Notice how the media is boasting about Illinois creating Manufacturing jobs? Well, that's just one sub-sector of the total jobs picture.

It's been posted here. I wouldn't call adding 1,800 manufacturing jobs at Chrysler while sixteen other companies layoff a corresponding 1,800 employees, many of them working in the high tech fields requiring four year degrees a win.

Yet the political apparatus wants you only to look at the new jobs we're creating over here -- pay no attention to the old jobs we're losing over there. Heh, we're churning living wage jobs for slave labor jobs. We're shifting crime from one district to another.

Another example is Caterpillar.

Google "Illinois Jobs Caterpillar"

Illinois lost out on a Caterpillar plant here. There's a lot of main stream media and the Gov. presenting the image that the only reason Illinois lost that plant was due to access to ports.

That's not what Caterpillar said at all. That is only half the story. Caterpillar stated in their rejection letter:

"...even if your community had the right logistics for this project, Caterpillar's previously documented concerns about the business climate and overall fiscal health of the state of Illinois still would have made it unpractical for us to select your community for this project."

-----------------------

You can't trust any of them can you?

The 4th and 5th amendment to the constitution is gone.

Warrant-less searchers, wiretaps, right to detain people without a hearing indefinitely, drone strikes approved on US citizens.

We don't have a presidency it's a monarchy, a dictatorship where the man in charge can order be-headings and assignations and we're suppose to trust their decisions as honest and morally right because they say so. They don't have to provide prof of anything!

Yeah it may sound like a good thing to some. That it may make things easier.. Yeah I mean you trust Obama's decisions to use that power only for good. But what about the next guy and the next guy...etc.. Will Newt, Romney, Paul or the next guy after them?

What are we protecting and which side of the skirmish line we gonna be on? The side of democracy and freedom or the monarchy and dictatorship?

OT: I came across this, and think it says a lot about our job....

Police officers battle life-threatening situations every day as part of their job. A battle not every officer wins.

According to Officer Survival Solutions, in 2011 173 police officers were killed in the line of duty by gunshots.

In 2011, over 59,000 officers survived being shot by a gun while on the job.

Citizens,

It's all bullshit!

They think you are stupid and that most of you are white trash or ganbangers anyway. The strategy is to parade a bunch of "experts" from NYC around the news shows and throw alot of numbers around to confuse you.

Its dropped 36% !

After a 15% spike, dramatic reductions are being seen!

A day without a homicide! Ooops, I mean murder!


Bottom line:

Can real, taxpaying people move from Park Ridge into Englewood and not be victimized? NO!!!!!

Where are all of the "extra" police coming from, and where did they patrol before they were sent to the hood? THAT'S RIGHT, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!

You're not going to learn any of this from the "Human Centipede" chain that is Kurtis, Levine, and Jacobson who voraciously devour Emanuel's bullshit.

So, what's in a word?

You people just don't get it, do you?


On 07 Feb, the order came out:

"Effective immediately, the terms "Aggravated Battery" and "Homicide" are strictly forbidden. The terms "Shooting" and "Murder" will be used in lieu of the previous terms."

So what does this mean?

It means Rahm can now say that under his administration as Mayor, his law enforcement strategy has completely and effectively ended "homicides" in Chicago.

All hail Rahm! Yea!

And the sheeple said... "He's like a God... We MUST make him our leader"... and the Divine One, The Obama, told his sheeple, YES! After I leave office in 2016, the screwing of the middle class will continue under Emanuel. He will continue to tax and take from the WORKING class and give to the REFUSE TO WORK class and your checks and programs will continue. He will continue to share the wealth (except his own).

And it will be so...

I pay about $9000 in taxes. I live in Sauganash and haven't seen a police car patrol my neighborhood since July 2011. That is the last time I saw a police car in my neighborhood.

All Mayor Emmanuel and Supt. McCarthy are doing is putting more officers in the south and west sides. While the north, northwest and southwest sides of the city are extremely short. So short that in the so called good neighborhoods there are several cars down every single night.

Does anyone think that these criminals are that stupid? If the police are over saturated in their hood they will simply go where there are less police.

I've always felt that this was NOT the best idea. I liked to write parkers on the gang bangers and hit 'em for equipment and insurance violations and tow their cars (aka drive-by shooting enablers), at every opportunity. It also shows SOME activity, so they couldn't beef that I wasn't doing anything.

With all the mayhem popping up around 011 lately, I'm reminded of Chief Judge LeFevour's lecture to then "young" crime fighters about "squeezing the sausage". He didn't want us to clog up his courts with too many felony arrests, since when you put the squeeze on crime in one area, it'll pop up somewhere else, anyway.

As a supervisor on the southside, I am approving 6-8 burglary case reports a day, everyday. Not to mention 3-4 robberies a night. It pays to be a burglar - and most of these seem to be teens just going around kicking in doors. But with no cops to proactively work these patterns ( too busy going from call to call) this will continue to rise. Crime is down my ass.

I am one of the G-8 instructors training the officers from the street. Despite our best efforts to prepare them for the upcoming event, there is one thing that is hard to ignore. The morale of the officers, from blue shirts to white shirts is low. I mean everyone is concerned with safety and surviving this event but overall, the morale in patrol is very low. They seem defeated and resigned to a horrible situation on the street. I am sure they are capable of standing tall to the protestors but they have no faith in the leadership at 35th street. At the beginning, officers were either curious or angry. Now they are resigned and lost faith that we have the leadership to survive this mess. In the past, we always had a few street experienced leaders to raly the troops. Today, there is a vacuum. I am concerned.

Why isn't the media jumping all over this LIAR. He needs to quit using BULLSHIT statistics. Tell him he can wipe his ass with those COMPOST stats. We have no bosses left with balls on this job.

Crime stats are all bullshit anyway, especially when you compare them to stats of last year or even more so when you compare them to stats of yesteryear. What is the real reason that the homicide rate is only about 60-70%of what it was 20-40 years ago? Medical science is the number one reason, combined with a somewhat smaller population. The only way to fairly assess whether or not violence is down is to compare the number of shootings/stabbings and beatings relative to the current population as compared to yesteryear. My money is on the current times being more violent.

Even look at it from a police perspective, I highly recommend everyone read "End of Watch" despite the fact that its written by Burke it is our history. I wonder how many of our brothers and sisters would have survived if they had what we have today, we are work with a partner on 2nd and 3rd watch (I know, doesn't happen 1/3 of the time or more now, but it is our contractural right to refuse to be 10-99), we have a radio (not a call box key or a car radio) and we have body armor and better doctors. With the exception of the 1920s, the late 60s to early 70s and the early 90s, we live in the next most violent period in Chicago history.

Stay safe, we all know this is going to be a tough year, especially with the G8 and the election. Don't worry about the lawsuits, make sure you go home in one piece.

Did they ever catch that asshole prowling around Edison Park robbing condos, the ~60 year old black guy?

Not smart on his part - if you haven't picked him up there's a good chance you may meet him with a few extra ounces of lead in him if he picks the wrong house and the owners are home...

You have to wonder what they are thinking trolling neighborhoods where the density of police residences are high.

Maybe the weather played a role in the lower crime rate??

So if the answer to Chicago's crime problem "is not to put more cops on the streets" then why have more cops on the beat in the high crime districts seem to have had a such a huge impact on the problem according to your numbers?

McCarty you are so full of it.

If crime is down 63% what do we need a gun registry database for? Seems like money being misdirected to me.

If crime is down 63% because we put more cops on the streets then why do you keep denying the solution to the problem?

If "Broken Windows" crime methodology is so important why is the roof-top reverend still on the roof flaunting the city ordinances?

I pay about $9000 in taxes. I live in Sauganash and haven't seen a police car patrol my neighborhood since July 2011. That is the last time I saw a police car in my neighborhood.

All Mayor Emmanuel and Supt. McCarthy are doing is putting more officers in the south and west sides. While the north, northwest and southwest sides of the city are extremely short. So short that in the so called good neighborhoods there are several cars down every single night.

Does anyone think that these criminals are that stupid? If the police are over saturated in their hood they will simply go where there are less police.

Yes the 007th district with 400+ officers assigned and another 100 split between the 011th district to police a 25 square block area with 5000-7000 vacant and boarded up properties. 019 and 023 have between them less than 400 officers and would guess a 1000% more dense poplution. This scenerio is similar in all northside districts....if you live in 024, 020, 019, 023 call your alderman and demand a stronger police presence. A neighborhood that is decayed as Englewood does not deserve this amount of policing....it should be allowed to die off and bulldozed to the ground. There is no amount of money that will help, its a lost cause and will never rebound in the next 100+ years.

Air strikes would have been cheaper and more effective. Just a thought.

AGREED - Good chance for our military aviators to practice before being deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq or our next deployment (Iran, Syria, North Korea.....)

The #1 reason Homocides are down so dramatically is because we are not to use that term anymore when dealing with someone who has been killed. Next month there will be zero homocides....mark my words.

G-Jersey says he needs more cops in Englewood and the Westside, then says Chicago doesn't need more cops (only there?)......he isn't solving anything, just pushing the problem around.....where do they find people like this?

Funny coincidence, former police boss and convicted burglar/jewel thief Hanhart gets released from prison and the jewelry store burglaries start up. Think he got the old crew back together again? Is there anyone left on the job that remembers those crimes? Are they on the crimes we don't speak of list?

In case you are not paying attention; You wil find out what I have seen over the years before I retired. The only crime the city fathers are worried about is violent crime, robberies, shootings and homicides. That is what brings the heat. They could care less about property crimes, no matter where they are. The detective division policies reflect this. Not much in the way of property crime is investigated.
